nesasea.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, JOHN D. RIORDAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Han- -niloal, in the county of Marion and State of Missouri, have. invented new and useful Im provements in Hub-Liners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in hub liners and the principal object of theinvention is to provide improved means for securing the liner to the bearing box.

Another object of the invention is to provlde a device of this character which is simple and durable in construction, reliable and in the accompanying drawings and specifi-' cally pointed out in the appended claim.

*ln describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev eral views and in which Figure 1 is a rear View of a bearing box with my invention in place thereon.

- Fig. 2 is a side view of the invention. Fig. 3 is a front viewthereof.

A shown in these views the bearing box 1 contains the usual axle supporting members, not shown and the oil cellar 3. t represents the hub liner which is secured in any suit- I plate covers the front able manner to the carrying plate 5.

and a top flange 7. The upper corners of the plate are cut off as at 8 .so that the top flange is of relatively small length. This flange- .is provided with an opening 9 to-receive a set screw which engages the top of the box and the side flanges are provided with rearward extensions 10 at their lower ends and each of these extensions is pro- Vided with a hole 11. The flanges will snugly engage the sides and top of the hearing box and the openings 11 are so arranged that they willreceive the bolt 12 which holds the oil cellar in position. In this way it is not necessary to bore holes in the box as the liner is held in position by the cellar bolt and the set-screw in the top fiange. The liner may be made of any suitable material such as brass or bab bitt.

The drawing shows the liner secured to the plate by means of the screw bolts l3.

It is thought'from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make such changes in the construction and- .in the combination'and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

l/Vhat I claim is The combination with a bearing box and its oil cellar, of a flanged plate covering the front of the box with its flanges engaging the sides and top thereof,' a liner carriedby said plate, a set'screw carried by the top flange and engaging the. top of the box and openings in the side flanges for receiving the cellar bolt.

. In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN; D. RIORDAN.
